Spirit Airlines and Ticket Club announce deal for $9 Fare Club members

SOUTH WINDSOR, CT – 1 Sep, 2017 – Spirit Airlines and Ticket Club announce a deal to provide the airline’s $9 Fare Club members with discounted access to popular live concert, sports and theater events in every city Spirit serves.

The deal gives a complimentary one-year paid Ticket Club membership to all Spirit $9 Fare Club members, as well as $10 off their first event purchase. In keeping with Spirit’s “Less Money, More Go” brand promise, the deal is designed to enhance the already diverse travel benefits $9 Fare Club offers its members by adding discounts on destination-specific experiences.

“People fly Spirit because they spend a lot less money on their flights which means more money to spend at their destination. They want to see and do everything that destination has to offer. This deal is fantastic especially for Fare Club members ‘cause they’ll continue to see value even after they step off the plane” said Ticket Club CEO Don Vaccaro. “Members can now take all the money they’ve saved getting to their destination and use it to enjoy great events once they arrive!”

Spirit’s $9 Fare Club functions differently than its competitors. The program allows members access to the airline’s lowest fares and provides discounted bag fees. Studies show Spirit’s total price is on average 30% lower than other airlines, even after adding extras like bags and seats.

The idea of winning customer loyalty by having the lowest prices is similarly shared by Ticket Club’s own membership program. Borrowing from the same business model popularized by Costco, Sam’s Club, and Amazon Prime, signing up for a membership with Ticket Club removes service fee charges from ticket purchases. Ticket Club members reportedly save on average 15% on tickets versus other secondary market sites, and the site itself currently lists more than 450,000 tickets to more than 84,000 different events.

As major airlines continue to scramble to compete on prices on all their flights, this deal represents an added value for $9 Fare Club members. Both existing $9 Fare Club members and new signups will benefit from the deal.
